Numeracy, often misunderstood as only being associated with mathematics, is the ability and intention to apply mathematical concepts and problem solving skills across various areas of learning. When students are given real-life cases, they can apply their mathematical concepts and skills to gain transferable learning experiences. In Junior Kindergarten, students learn through purposeful play. Students use their mathematical thinking, like reasoning and describing, while exploring materials and subjects, like patterns in seasonal changes or how snow drifts in a snow globe. By carefully utilizing their innate way of being and pairing it with intentional learning activities students combine play-based learning with mathematical ideas and strategies.
